LOL - I think CNN has it as three of five.
That must really pain HuffPost
What exactly is the difference between “can’t say” and “don’t know”?
Another dumb poll.
But, if only one in four think the accusations are credible, that means that 3 in 4 don’t.
That should be the headline.
I wonder how many surveyed remember Monty Python’s “Blackmail” game show sketch?
A Jury of your Peers. Cough, cough..
Six in ten cannot name one Supreme Court justice.
Note tagline.
Sounds terrible
Should Trump pull the nomination now?
Dems would vote for Garland if he was nominated again.
Those who poll as “Haven’t heard enough to say.” Are unwilling to trash the Ford story based on the surrounding political “noise”.
Those who believe Ford based on the current stories in the news are simply bonkers. They really haven’t heard enough to say. This is simply because we are not sure what Ford’s story currently is.
Those of us who do not believe Ford are going by:
1) The suspicious way in which it was introduced extremely late in the hearings. This makes it look like it was simply a way to sabotage the vote.
2) The way the lawyers for Ford are using her testimony to delay the proceedings.
3) The myriad of people, who knew Kavanaugh during high school, who A. deny hearing anything about the incident and B. don’t believe Ford’s narrative based on Kavanaugh’s character
4) The other named actors at the alleged party all deny that even the party took place.
5) Even Ford cannot name a location or date for the party.
6) One (perhaps the only one) person who attempted to corroborate Ford’s story got caught up in the lie that it was “a buzz” around school. Someone pointed out to her that A. the party took place in the summer and B. Ford claims she told nobody. This person erased her corroborating social media entry and replaced it with an entry which states she has no first hand knowledge of the incident.
7) Ford says that she first recounted this story to a medical counselor nearly 30 years after the fact in 2012.
Ultimately, Dennis Praeger was correct when he stated that ~”even if the allegations were true, it should not disqualify Kavanaugh”. The allegations are about the actions of a high school boy when he was a minor.
This is what’s called Anchoring Bias.
Gosh, that means 3 in 4 DON’T!!
YouGov/HuffPost Poll: One In Four Find Kavanaugh Allegation Credible.
Like PT Barnum said...there’s an asshole born every minute.
So the headline should read:
“Three in four find the allegations NOT credible”
This is how you prove media bias BTW. Take a headine like this, invert the mathematical results and check to see if it changes the underlying facts being reported. If not, you have just pinpointed media bias.
25% of any group of human beings are morons, including Ivy League graduates, Supreme Court Justices, and United States Senators. Some groups are much higher on the moron scale, Democrats come to mind.
The push polling and propaganda has failed....
Even if the allegations are true... and there is ZERO evidence to back them up...
The allegations are a drunk 17 year old boy failed to get in the pants (somewhat forcibly?) of a 15 year old girl (who was also likely drunk)...
I know a fine upstanding man, who got way too drunk one night, and struck his wife of 20 years... he had NEVER done anything before, and certainly never has since...
Does that make him a bad man? Or does that make him a man who let alcohol impair him too much one night? I am not justifying his actions, they were wrong, but does that mean he’s an evil man? For the record they are still together... his wife has more sense that Feinstein apparently.
This whole thing is high school gossip at best.... The dems are delusional to think this is somehow going to wind up a win for them.
Good!
And this is why the McCabe/Rosenstein story came out today. The Kavanaugh vote will happen next week. She is no longer the media darling.
How can they say it’s credible when she hasn’t really made any sort of claim?
